    Ocean Breezin Kit

    It would be hard to tell without a Hydrometer read on the first or second day but I’m guessing since these wines are usually 7-8%, by adding the juice and partial F pack you probably raised it 2 points to 10%. Just a guess. A rule of measure is 1 pound of sugar raises your gravity aroubd 1 point...

    Ocean Breezin Kit

    Yeah good decision, I’ve made a lot of the Orchard Breezin and Island Mist Kits, they’ve all tasted good to me. With those kits I add a 4 or 5 pound bag of sugar to some boiling water, dissolve it, let cool and add to primary fermentation. My wife likes the sweet wines so I don’t mess with the F...

    Where do you get your honey?

    Costco or Sams $12.99 for 5 pounds. I’ll throw in I took 1st and 3rd at Ky State Fair with Costco honey for mead fruit category. I’ve looked for local honey but cheapest I can find is $12 a pound.

    Looking for fruit juice concentrate

    Walkers seems legit to me. The only negative comment I found online was that if you want to make a Red Wine that the “Hot Pressing” of the grapes they do gives a red wine less body and aroma. I think I’m going to try out their peach bucket and see how it goes.

    Looking for fruit juice concentrate

    I was in my wine supply store yesterday and this is the place the owner suggested to me, Walkers Juice. I was told it was 5 gallons of pure juice. The prices and shipping cost seemed reasonable online.

    Yes, gravity is so high you need more time to let it ferment out.

    Best white and red kits for early drinking

    Agree, Vintners Reserve kits are pretty good and around $80 a kit. They are pretty good at 3 months.
